Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The F1299BB06 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 06EK33 based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Filter Type: Single Phase (identical)
• Configuration: Single Stage (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC (identical)
• Current Rating: 6A (identical)
• Operating Frequency: 50/60Hz (identical)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (identical)
• Termination Style: Wire Leads (identical)
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UR, VDE (identical)

The F1299BB06 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 06EK33 across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 06EK33 is obsolete while the F1299BB06 is active, making the latter the current production equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The F1299BB06 is the active production equivalent for the obsolete 06EK33. Both components share identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in 250VAC 6A single phase EMC/EMI filtering applications.

The F1299BB06 offers improved compliance status: it meets ROHS3 requirements whereas the 06EK33 is non-compliant. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and carry equivalent international safety certifications (CSA, UR, VDE). For new designs or system replacements, the F1299BB06 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and enhanced regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the F1299BB06 directly replace the 06EK33 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 250VAC at 6A with single phase, single stage configuration, identical mounting type (chassis mount), and wire lead termination. All electrical and mechanical parameters match, confirming direct substitution compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the 06EK33?

A: The 06EK33 is classified as obsolete. The F1299BB06 is the active production equivalent from Curtis Industries, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The F1299BB06 is ROHS3 compliant while the 06EK33 is non-compliant. Both maintain REACH unaffected status and carry identical international safety approvals (CSA, UR, VDE). For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the F1299BB06 is mandatory.

Q: Do the packaging specifications differ?

A: The 06EK33 is packaged as individual units while the F1299BB06 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels different?

A: The 06EK33 lists moisture sensitivity as not applicable, while the F1299BB06 is rated MSL 1 (unlimited). This indicates the F1299BB06 has no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.
